Just Who Are the Anti-Israel Protesters?

“…”Go back to the oven,” the woman in her hijab in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., yelled to the Jewish Americans demonstrating their support for Israel. “You need a big oven, that’s what you need.”..”

Susan Estrich has penned a chilling editorial about the anti-Semitism raging throughout the nation, promoted by the extreme forces of Islam. She wrote:

“…I do not always like everything Israel does. I do not always like everything my own country does. But I love Israel for the determination and courage of its people in standing up to the terrorists who would destroy it. And I detest those who traffic in anti-Semitism and then seek to excuse their hatred of me by saying no, it isn’t Jews they hate.

Just Israel. Liars.

The world is busy condemning Israel. The media are busy doubting its future. Time magazine goes on for pages about why Israel can’t win. Maybe it can’t, but it also can’t lose….”

The much justified Israeli attacks on Hamas are bringing out the protestors. We are being led to believe people the world over are protesting Israel. There is just one problem. Is the MSM even bothering to advertise what religion those protesters are?

“…”The Arab press serves both as a powerful influencer of opinion and as mirror of the larger society, and as the conflict between Israel and Hamas plays out in the daily newspapers, anti-Semitism and Nazi comparisons have reached a fever pitch,” said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director and a Holocaust survivor. “In this incendiary environment, where anger at Israel already seethes in the Arab street, cartoonists and editors are doing more than heaping invective on Israel. They are fueling a toxic mix of hatred — for Israel, for America, for Jews, for the West – by dredging up anti-Semitism in its most lethal and virulent form.”…”

“…On Thursday the FLAICA-CUB union called in a statement for a boycott of businesses linked to the Roman Jewish Community. It suggested shoppers should focus the protest on clothing stores, many of which are traditionally owned by members of the capital’s small Jewish community. …”

In events that must chill the blood of every Jew in the world, protests are becoming violent and highly anti-Semitic – In Germany the cops are turning on the Jews, siding with the Islamic protesters.

“…An estimated 7,000 people turned out for Saturday’s march, one of several held in European cities over the weekend protesting Israel’s military operation in the Gaza Strip. In Berlin, some marchers demanded the right of return for Palestinians, referred to citizens in Gaza as prisoners, and charged Israel with blocking delivery of food and medicine.

Some clearly anti-Semitic posters were displayed, said Levi Salomon, who coordinates the task force against anti-Semitism for Berlin’s Jewish community. Salomon told JTA he saw a family with small children holding a sign that read “Israelis are child murderers.” Police arrested the adults at his urging, Salomon said, adding that what made the statement illegal was its condemnation of Israelis as a people.

Police spokesman Michael Mass told JTA said that while the demonstration was “for the most part peaceful,” arrests were made on charges that included incitement to hate, breach of peace and violating the right to assembly. Mass said

Calling a demonstration peaceful gives the press and public “a false idea,” Salomon said, and added that even some legal slogans “can be described as anti-Semitic.” For example, Salomon said, he saw and heard slogans at recent demonstrations including “‘intifada to the bitter end,” “Israel mass murderer,” “Zionists are fascists” and “Olmert is a murderer.”

Salomon said he filed a suit in Berlin on Jan. 2 in connection with a demonstration four days earlier where protesters were reported to be carrying signs reading “death to Israel,” “s**t Jews” and “Juden Raus,” or “kick out the Jews.” No further information was available about the suit, Mass told JTA….”

“…It had never occurred to me that there might come a time when I and my family might be sentenced to death once again for the crime of being born Jewish. It never crossed my mind that the world would once again be hearing the shouts of “Kill the Jews” and “Jews to the ovens!” I realized that there were some who hated Jews but I was sure that this was a tiny, mindless, insignificant minority – surely smaller in numbers than those who believed the Earth was flat or that Elvis was alive.

I was wrong.

Hatred is with us again. The legions of haters are proudly waving their flags and flaunting their slogans around the globe. And just like the nazis of seventy years ago they are not bashful or apologetic in disseminating the ideology of mass murder. They are dedicated, enthusiastic, committed, and ready to die for their deadly doctrine. One of their religious leaders put it best: “We love death as much as the Jews and Christians love life!”…”

THE PINK FLAMINGO STORY

It started out as a joke. During the seven years I worked with the girls of my parish, leading a youth group, one of the things that I stressed were manners. Part of having manners, the way I see it, is to know how to set a proper table, host a party, cater it, and clean up afterward. I was fortunate enough to have a group of very talented girls in my youth group. They learned how to plan for, and execute large church functions, very properly. During one such function I noticed there were several incredibly tacky pink flamingos sitting on the table. Knowing the girls were up to something, I said nothing. A few months later they did the same thing at a function I was hosting at my home. I said nothing. They had a birthday party for me. More pink flamingos appeared - and a joke was born.

Thanks to the girls, all of whom are now grown, I have a collection of pink flamingos. It has become an ongoing joke. When I began working on my political blog, I realized the only possibly title was The Pink Flamingo!
